The Elite - My Confusion
not the most memorable track in the series, i'm not sure if i've ever played this one all the way through before... pretty "good" recording for back from the grave ok next

lower-fi, more menacing than the elite track nice tough guitar bit, the vocals kinda fading in and out sounds like he's making up the words as he goes along
oh break beat, now it's getting "heavy" with some bass runs i thought were dubbed-in motorcycle noises davy allen style,
some crashing sound could be drums
plodding but pretty tough ok out of time
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 17:48 (twenty-two years ago)
wow now this plodding! nice slow stomp, kind of in the "good morning lil schoolgirl" style
obligatory scream, he's no gerry rosalie
it's speeding up... i think they listened to shadows of knight "oh yeah" a lot, lots of overlapping Yeah yeah yeahs

starts off with the same "Walking Down The Street" opening line as YEah
Drums are totally Bob Bert Pussy Galore whomp-ka-whomp
this is more in the vein of 1-2-5 but less urgent, he keeps saying he's got no reason to complain! he sounds pissed off about that

Positively bouncy bass-line, but still kinda addams familyish... he's singing about his breakfast! first appearance of an organ on the record
"the only money I got is CHINESE YEN!"
it's a crazy mixed up world for the fabs, but that's the bag that's the bag that's the bag they're in!
my favourite so far
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 17:56 (twenty-two years ago)
ok other than the fabs, this could pretty much all be the same band so far... the singers especially alll sound the same... this is all 66 so who are they trying to sound like? it sure ain't mick or paul or john, it sounds more like a more-serious alice cooper but that don't make sense
another sullen stomp this one, they harnmonize on the CRYYY-YI-YI
ok ouitta time next
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 17:58 (twenty-two years ago)
surfy lots of chant-a-long gang vocals... fleshtones probably dug this one -
did girls cheat a lot in the sixties? these guys are all pissed off at their girlfriends for messin' around on em
oh man this one moves along pretty good... most uptempo song so far, nice dizzy organ-guitar interplay and lots of "HEY!" shouts
digs its own grave at the end
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:01 (twenty-two years ago)
crappy singer even for this
whoah that guitar is outta tune
the organ is out of tune!
pretty good who-ho-ho back-up singin' - like the misfits!
i'll never listen to this song again

The Rats - Rats REvenge
oh now here's an old favourite
fucked if it doesn't still sound great.
it's basically farmer john
now it's the SUPER RATS! GIANT RATS! SKINNY RATS! SUPER RATS! bit
you'll learn to hate us you'll learn to despise us!
drumming is awful!
they lose it and start to crack up
TO WALK YOU HOME FROM SCHOOL!
and they're back talking about sewers
does he say "we need a better drummer!"?

It is on Vol.1 of the CD version, so it may not be on this lp.

they've got their shit together a little more by now.
"PART TWO, IT's NICE!"
the big spoken intro to the guitar solo, and then an anguished "ooooh!" when it comes in
they challenge you to a fight, at the supermarket at 5 o'clock but then say they're gonna chicken out!

a folk-rock parody? actually kind of pretty, at least after the rats. "maybe do a swan dive from a roof" - referring to the old acid "think you can fly" myth?
the tuff guitar comes in towards the end
nice tambourine
i've always loved this one too
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:16 (twenty-two years ago)
the tome of this always reminded me of "mind playing tricks on me" by the geto boys
it kinda fades in & out
WHOO-HO_HOAAA YEAH!
it's a story song, like red sovine or something
the phantom turns and slowly walks away at the end, but HE'LL NEVER KNOW WHY!
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:18 (twenty-two years ago)
This is a screaming Lord Sutch song, isn't it? the white stripes did it when i saw em
no oomph to it, but that could be my sadsack stereo
not feeling it
it's just Peter Gunn
first time i've haven't run out of time writing
nothing special
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:20 (twenty-two years ago)
ah, the sonics original is just better in every way, sorry swamp rats.the singer does a pretty good job, and the guitar is pretty great but the bass is doing way too much
KEY CHANGE!
another useless cover like the last one, again not much more to say
and i hate when the other guy goes 'psycho psycho psycho' in a real fey trying-to be psycho voice
backwards tape thing at the end is better than everything else
― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Monday, 22 September 2003 18:23 (twenty-two years ago)
Good fuzzed-out instrumental of the haunted house variety, with some crazy oscillation sound midway, pretty cool
feedback? or something sounds almost like a theremin
band gamely plays the most standard go go theme underneath all the nuttiness
nothing to complain about I guess, never played this one all the way thru before either
more crazy sound affects
the end
